Is it arrogant to believe that your religion is the one and only religion ? Is it arrogant to believe that all other belief systems outside of the Christian one are part of the Devils plan to trick the hopeless sinner into Hell ? Is it arrogant to think that your special Book is the one with all the answers and that all other special Books are that of the Devil ? Is it somewhat arrogant to believe that if you don't believe a certain way you must burn in Hell for all of eternity ?
